It’s clear the Vikings will be counting on second-year tight end David Morgan to contribute in multiple tight end sets this season after Rhett Ellison joined the Giants in free agency. Morgan has drawn praise from coaches and players as an efficient blocker, which this offense could use in short-yardage situations. He’s been moved around the formations as the second tight end alongside Kyle Rudolph throughout this spring.

Thanks! I was wondering why it was so long, I'll remember that going forward.

Second Pro tip: 247 sports has to be one of the absolute worst sports reporting groups I have ever encountered... through click bait titles, articles with lack of substance, shoddy speculation, reporting of old news, general inability to produce consistent grammar, and they generally just pull info days later from generally reputable sports news sources._________________

"And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts, and I looked and behold, a Pale Horse...

Zimmer: “I guess the biggest thing I feel good about is all those guys are on the same page. They communicate well, they talk well. I’ve sat in most of the offensive line meetings. It’s a good group. I was really impressed with Riley Reiff – but again, this is without pads. He is a tough guy, physical guy, good with his sets. He doesn’t say much, but when he says something, he means it. Remmers has done a nice job with competing with Everson Griffen every day. I think they just want to get it right. Like Reiff said to me, ‘I’ve made money in this game, I just want to win a Super Bowl.’ That’s kind of his mentality. I think it’s good for the football team.”

Remmers has done a nice job with competing with Everson Griffen every day.

This was something I was trying to figure out when I first heard Zimmer say it. I'm pretty sure Remmers is still projected to play RT, so does that mean they flipped Hunter and Griffen?_________________

The offseason is the best time to rank stuff. On Tuesday, the analytics/analysis website Pro Football Focus published its rankings of all 32 teams’ offensive lines – and Vikings fans will be quite pleased by the jump in ranking from the end of 2016 to the beginning of 2017.

At the end of last season, PFF scored the Vikings as the 29th rated offensive line in the NFL. In their newest rankings, Minnesota sits in the top half of the league at 14th.

Well, let's put it this way, Remmers as a RT in 2015 and 2015 graded out at 72.8 and 72.1 respectively. As a comparison, TJ Clemmings' grade in 2015 as a pure RT was 39.7 (his 2016 combined grade was 28.3). Pretty significant upgrade._________________
